4 dead after tornadoes sweep through Texas
Among the victims was a 7-year-old boy who perished while riding in a auto that was swept up and tossed by storm winds. The tornadoes also killed six people in Tennessee and one other in Arkansas, bringing the three-state total to 17.
With the Hurricanes just a couple days out from Saturday’s Sun Bowl matchup against Washington State, they want to make sure they’re ready to make one final splash before the 2015 season comes to an end. Washington State began the season ominously as they lost 24-17 as 31-point favorites at home to Portland State.
Giants Need to Find Production Without OBJ
Coach Tom Coughlin talked to his team Thursday about playing without Beckham, telling them this is a chance to bond. Against the Vikings, they will be on their own in a game that still could have playoff implications.
Miami was 4-3 at one point, they got blasted 58-0 in the worst loss in school history to Clemson and then fired head coach Al Golden.

He stated the development in relations between the 2 nations was vital to regional peace, stability and improvement. On Friday, Modi and Sharif agreed that their foreign secretaries would meet in mid-January to restart talks.
“It says a lot about someone’s character”, defensive back Deon Bush said of Scott.
On the offensive side of the ball, the ‘Canes will play without redshirt sophomore lineman Sunny Odogwu, who tore the MCL of his right knee in Miami’s season finale at Pittsburgh.
Falk and the Pac-12’s leader in receptions (99) and touchdown grabs (14) Marks will be tasked with leading the Cougars against an athletic Miami defense. “I can’t thank our staff enough, and all other people that played a pivotal part and really hone in on what we needed to do to make the young men realize that there was still an opportunity to turn the corner”. He appeared to give the Hurricanes a 14-7 lead in the second quarter when he connected in the end zone with receiver Rashawn Scott, but the ball came out of Scott’s hands and was intercepted by Peyton Pelluer.
Unfortunately for Scott, he’ll turn the keys of the program over to Mark Richt after today, but the Miami players should be plenty motivated to send Scott off on a winning note. “We’re playing in a situation where we need all of our defensive backs, and we’re down a DB so everyone is going to have to step their games up again”. Jenkins has made seven starts and has 29 tackles.
The miscues – especially the pick coming on the trick play – will be what haunts this team, and here’s thinking new coach Mark Richt won’t be asking Yearby to throw the ball in the next incarnation of the Hurricanes playbook. “Not as much as Arizona State, but more than most”. While Kaaya’s numbers are still very good and operates a different offense, Falk absolutely lit up the stats this year, all while missing a game this season as well. Moten has started four games this year and played in 11. “They fought to the bitter end…when you fight and you keep calling and believing that things don’t work out, it hurts, but at the same time I told them they had nothing to be ashamed of”. Just to set the stage for you, the Hurricanes had just fumbled on the Washington State 5-yard line after having a touchdown run called back on a block in the back. The team’s last bowl win came in 2006, when it beat Nevada 21-20 in what’s now the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.
It’s a place that Scott said he and the team is glad to be and an appropriate setting for the Canes during this bowl season. The streak includes a loss to Notre Dame in the 2010 Sun Bowl.
